The Search For JIM

We had auditions for one of our leads in Love 10 to 1. Jim, will be the hardest to cast. He's in all 3 stories and Christine, Laura and I need to agree on who we get. This will be challenging because while the 3 of us see eye to eye on a lot of things, we have very different opinions on who we want in Jim. I want a sleazy rocker type, think of Slash in the early days of Guns N Roses, mixed with Jim Morrison. I think that's hard to find today, do people even know who Slash or JM are? Is this too tall an order?

I showed Christine and Laura a myspace page of a musician that I think would make a great Jim. Christine thought he was too sleazy looking and not hot. I never saw Jim as hot, but he definitely has to exude a raw sex appeal that makes women throw themselves at him. Oh, and he also has to have a kick ass body because he's a swimming instructor for little kids. So ideally, a rocker dude with a hot bod....definitely a tall order.

We saw really good actors, some better than others. We are calling 4 of them back and there was one that I was absolutely mad for, but for the role of Dustin. That's going to be another challenge. A while ago I auditioned someone that I totally loved for the part, but because this has taken us so long, I'm afraid he's no longer interested. Dustin is a story for another day.

My sister, who is cast as Shane, helped us with the reading. Thank God for small favors. Over all the auditions went well. I'm hopeful for the call backs but I think our search must continue.

I always sign my name so people know which one of us is posting - hint, hint ladies:-)
